I considered posting this in the random IV thoughts but I thought it would work well as a poll. If this has been done to death before mods please delete I searched and couldn't find anything.
for me personally here's my rambling thoughts:
If you were to have asked me this question for over 23 years I would have been steadfast and had said no that Yu Suzuki has more than earned the right to finish out his story as he saw fit. That he's absolutely a legend in this business and deserves to dictate how his masterpiece concludes in Shenmue V or quite possibly VI.
Fast forward to our current state and me gradually getting much much older. Quite frankly I'll be 35 this year and even when IV comes out I'll probably be 40. I've said before but once this saga ends I'll more than likely be done with gaming . I've been with this franchise since I first saw that horrendous Who's Nozomi ad and even then watching it I somehow knew it would be my favorite game of all time. I got my hands on One when I was 12 back in Christmas 2000. The Nozomi Amulet ending remains my favorite ending across any medium.
Having said all that the more I contemplate it the more I lean towards it should end in IV granted alot would have to be cut from his original vision which is sad but at least we would get the broad strokes and a ending to a beloved saga.
What are your thoughts
